Introduction Devotional 2024

Grace and Peace to You

Just as our beloved Apostle Paul would say: "Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."

After taking some time away from blogging, I have been reflecting, learning, and growing in the Lord. During this season of rest, God revealed a renewed purpose for me—to share His Word and actively participate in building His kingdom. This year, every blog I publish will be dedicated to edifying thousands, laying a foundation for greater impact in the future.

The blogs will feature sections on themes like purpose, service, mentorship, leadership, growth, discipleship, thanksgiving, and, to close the year, an Advent series that is simple yet meaningful to follow.

All Scripture in the blogs will be in the King James Version (KJV), but I encourage you to explore other translations if you feel led. As always, remember:

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."

—2 Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV)

These blogs and devotionals are designed to be read in fellowship with Jesus, fostering a deeper relationship with Him and a hunger for more of His presence.

Blog Structure

Each post will follow this outline:

1. A Bible verse and Scripture reference to anchor the message.

2. An introduction to set the tone.

3. A story, testimony, or illustration to connect with the topic.

4. A reflection on Jesus and how He relates to the theme.

5. A call to action to inspire practical application.

6. A short prayer to close the post.

At the end of each blog, I’ll include related posts to help deepen your journey. For example, this week’s related post will be the Vision Board Blog.

First Section: Purpose

The first series will focus on purpose and span 8 weeks, followed by themes on mentorship and leadership.

I am excited to embark on this journey with you, trusting that these writings will encourage and equip you for the work of the Kingdom.

With love,

Cristal Mota 💛
